Psychiatric hospitals
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services lists 635 psychiatric hospitals across 52 states and territories. CMS publishes no Overall Star Rating for any of them, so none can be compared on that score. 82 report an emergency department.
Hospitals specialising in inpatient mental-health and substance-use care. CMS publishes no Overall Star Rating for this category at all; its quality reporting runs through a separate psychiatric measure set.
